Davis Freeberg’s Site Of The Week

Protesting The Site Of The WeekProtesting The Site Of The Week Hosted on Zooomr

Has their even been a website that has made you so frustrated that you wanted to unleash a chainsaw on it? Have your ever fantasized about what it would be like, if you could lock Jack Bauer in a room with PayPerPost? Or maybe, you’ve just always wondered what your own site would look like, if Dinosaurs attacked?

If you have ever fantasized about destroying the web, then you are in luck because Netdisaster.com will let you play out all of these scenarios on websites that are worthy of your wrath.

The site uses frames to overlay any of their many disasters onto a web page of your choosing. If you want to go nuclear on Amazon.com, you can, if you want to give your favorite blogger a healthy dose of flower power you can check it out. Overall, I couldn’t find any real practical uses for the site, but it was still fun mixing in different disasters on the various blogs that I visit.

Overall, I liked playing around with Net Disasters, but there were also a few limitations I’d like to see addressed. You can’t really surf the net with their filters because they don’t allow you to click any of the links that show up on a given site. I also had trouble getting the manual settings to work past the top 20% of a web page. There were also a few filters, that for whatever reason, I couldn’t get to turn on.

Despite these problems though, Net Disaster is still a fun filter to use on web pages that you already enjoy (or don’t enjoy depending on the circumstances ;) ). It could be made better by incorporating the technology into an actual browser instead of just a page on the web, but it still doesn’t diminish the enjoyment factor of the site. Congratulations to Net Disaster for winning this week’s site of the week contest.

The nominations for next week’s site of the week are listed below. Please vote in the sidebar. Remember, it’s Ok to send this to your friends, but please only vote once. If you’d like to nominate your own site for site of the week, you can do so by sending me an email to Davis @ DavisFreebergDOTcom.

    Your site is a good one for the Mars Attack because of all the white. The sound effects definetely make it more fun, but they should have included the weird Mars Attacks! music too.
